of pneumonia following an opera

1931. The first few years of Mr.
Curtis' life were spent in Pennsyl
vania. While yet a small lad of 17
years he left his home and came to
Oregon, spending several years
near La Grande. Later he came to
Morrow county where he married
Miss Ada Rhea, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. C. A. Rhea. To this union
a daughter was born, who with her
mother was drowned in the Hepp
ner flood June 14, 1903. A few years
later Mr. Curtis was married to
Lilian M. Herren, the daughter of
Mrs. W. W. Smead of Heppner. For
years Mr. Curtis had been engaged
as a salesman, representing Well
man, Peek and company, whole
sale grocers, and the Western Meat
company, both of San Francisco.
Funeral services were held at
Marshflfleld at 2:30 p. m., Saturday,
April 18. Services were conducted
by Dr. D. T. Robertson, pastor of
the First Presbyterian church of

this order at Marshfield. A quartet

Mrs. Charles Smith, M. D. Clark
and F. W. Turner, sang, and Joel
R. Benton, pastor of the Christian
church, offered a prayer. There
were many beautiful floral offerings
at both services, showing the high
esteem in which Mr. Curtis was
held.

FRUIT MAY BE NIPPED,
Andy Cook reported a half inch of
ice at his place above town Sunday
night He was afraid that the heavy
frost might have nipped his fruit
He pulled some onions Sunday eve
ning for delivery at local stores
Monday morning, and having a pre
monition, covered them securely
with a blanket His wife thought
the precaution unnecessary, he said,
but his hunch of a cold snap proved
correct when next morning he
found the blanket to be frozen stiff,
though the water in which the on
ions were placed was not affected.

Davis School Recognized
In Junior Red Cross Work
In carrving out a program of cor
respondence exchange work be
tween schools of the United States
and foreign countries as outlined by
the Junior Red Cross, Miss Audrey
Beymer, teacher of the Davis school
near lone recently received a com
plimentary letter from Geo. T. Ber
ry, assistant national director of the
organization. An excerpt from the
letter reads:
"The portfolio was so very fine
that we showed it to almsot all of
the members of the staff. Some
booklets we have received from
time to time have been very much
more elaborate, but the simplicity
of the Davis portfolio, and the beau
tiful sentiments expressed in the
letter from the teacher and the chil
dren makes the booklet one of very
great value to the' accomplishment
of Junior Red Cross ideals. There
is something very inspiring about
the portfolio, and I am sure that
that spirit will be caught by the for
eign children who receive your ma
terial. We took the liberty of copy
ing your own letter to be used as a
sample of the kind of greeting we
like to see teachers exchange. I
hope you will have no objections."

Mountain Movers.
Jesus loved the mountains. In
their fastnesses, He fought His
greatest battles and achieved the
most glorious victories of His life.
The climax of His struggle to
"destroy the works of the devil"
came when He ascended Mt Cal
vary and placed "final judgment
forever on the Prince of this
world."
This idea of moving mountains is
always associated with the problem
of evil; and the triumph, through
Divine Grace, of humanity over the
power of evil; by real faith in God.
But it is not that we should pros
trate ourselves before any moun
tain of evil, or whatever, as though
it were an expression of the will of
God. But, we are to seek to ex
plode and clear away the mountain
by asking and expecting and be
lieving for, great thing3 from God.
Many "Mountain Movers" of ser
ious obstacles are seen in the annals
of the Old Testament. By a ven
turous faith in God they did great
things. They were not afraid to at
tempt the seemingly impossible.
They staggered .not at the promise
of God through unbelief. We read
the inspiring account of their ex
ploits in the eleventh of Hebrews.
This same Mountain Moving spir
it was a chief characteristic of the
Christian Church for the first three
centuries of the Christian era. They
believed that all things were possi
ble with and thru God. They had
not learned to "wink" at the evils
of their day.
At every great crisis in history
the Church of Christ has sent forth
an army of Mountain Movers to
overthrow organized evil, and to
give a new birth to New Testament
Christianity; to overthrow war and
be done with it; to heal and fuse di
vided Protestantism by substitut
ing for dividing prejudice, the bless
ed tie that should, (but which does
NOT), bind our hearts in Christain
love.
The problems of this hour call
again and again for an army of
"Mountain Movers" of the New Tes
tament kind. Come with us, if you
have not a Church home, and help
in moving some of the mountains
of this day, out of the way of the
forward move of New Testament
Christianity. For the coming Lord's
uay the sermon subjects are: At
the Morning Worship, "Be Saved."
For the Evening Worship, "Does
Christianity Pay?" "If ye have
faith as a grain of mustard seed,
ye shall say unto this mountain, re
move hence to yonder place and it
shall remove; and nothing shall be
impossible to you." Matt. 17-20.

Results of Eastern Oregon Experi
ment Station Work Recorded
in New College Bulletin.
The oft-argued question among
stockmen as to whether beef heif
ers should be bred to calve at two
or three years of age is no longer a
question. The earlier age is the
best according to actual data gath
ered as the result of combined feed
ing and breeding tests run at the
Eastern Oregon branch experiment
station at Union over a period of
from four to six years, and which
have just been concluded.
In additon to the breeding angle
the experiments included compari
sons between light and heavy win
ter feed and between different kinds
of feed.
Conclusions from these tests re
ported in Station Bulletin 271, "De
ferred Breeding of Beef Cows,"
which is just off the press, are to
,the effect that it is more profitable
to have heifers calve at two years
of age than three. Although the
first calves are smaller and the
heifer is lighter for the first few
years, by the age of four years the
early calving heifer has given 36.15
greater returns than the one bred
at three years.
That the effects of early breeding
are not changed by light or heavy
feeding in winter was also brought
out in the tests. Straw at the rate
at Vi pounds to each pound of hay
was found a satisfactory combina
tion, as was silage at the rate of
two pounds to one of hay. Feeding
the heifers two-thirds of the hay
they would eat was found distinctly
more profitable than a full ration.
Heifers wintered on straw and
alfalfa, beginning to calve as two-
year olds, showed a profit of $49.44
per head, while heifers fed a full
ration and bred to calve as three-
year olds showed a loss of $36.10 per
neaa, or a difterence of more than
$85 a head in favor of the early
Dreeding and light feeding.
Copies of this report are obtain
able from county agents or from
the college, upon request.

MORE PEOPLE VISIT IVEIX.
On Sunday another large crowd
of people visited the hole being
drilled into historic Wells Springs
in search of gas and oil, reported
Louis Padberg, on whose land the
test hole is located, while in town
Monday. Another geologist, said to
have visited every major oil field in
the United States, was among those
present, Mr. Padberg reported. This
geologist verified statements of oth
er geologists that favorable indica
tions at Wells Springs surpass those
of any undeveloped field in the
country. The drill was still going
through solid rock at 360 feet Mr.
Padberg said.
Frank Egan is on the local run
again as engineer. He has been
working out of The Dalles for some
time, and expects to be on the
Heppner branch only temporarily.
Miss Mildred Clowry has return
ed from her eastern visit. She was
recently called to Chicago by the
illness of her father who died short
ly after she arrived there.
Mrs. John Iler suffered a fall re
cently which badly injured her hip,
and she is a patient In Heppner
